Job applicant shakes hands with hiring manager across an office desk.
Model portrayal.
Now, for this man, there's nothing to be done. Whether he failed to download the app or the company wasn't clear about its procedures, he's now left without a job and is looking for a new position. So many things could have happened that got him fired before he even started. Maybe the company regretted hiring him and used the missing orientation as the perfect excuse to let him go, or perhaps someone in the company decided to take over the position and realized they didn't need him. No matter the reason, there was definitely a lack of communication on their side that caused this huge problem for the employee.
When a company decides to hire someone new, there are multiple ways to introduce them, and being clear about the next steps and expectations is key. Because this didn't happen, this man is now left without a job. Who is to blame? Since the man contacted the company to ask for a start date, the company shows how messy and broken their internal communication is and how much they need to improve their own procedures.
Although this man can't do anything legally, insisting on a meeting about what happened can be crucial for both sides. The man will not only get a chance to explain himself, but the company might be able to analyze its actions and understand what it did wrong and where it failed. In the end, hiring someone requires extra consideration and care, and avoiding these mistakes will say a lot about the company as well.
